Abstract (en)
A disk shaped tunable optical filter is formed by a transparent substrate in a disk shape, and a filter layer formed on a top surface of the substrate, having such a filter characteristic that a transmission central wavelength varies along a circumferential direction as a monotonic function of a viewing angle. This disk shaped tunable optical filter can be advatageously utilized in realizing a wavelength discrimination apparatus, a reference wavelength light generation apparatus, an optical packet generation apparatus, and a tunable optical filter module, which are also disclosed. <IMAGE>
